Tottenham fear they may lose Toby Alderweireld for nothing, as the Spurs centre-back remains intent on leaving the north London club when his contract expires next summer.
The Belgian defender had a £25m release clause in his contract, which expired two weeks before the end of the transfer window, but no club has made a serious offer for the 30-year-old.
Alderweireld's Spurs current contract expires in 12 months and the Belgium international is prepared to run it down, according to The Mirror, at which point the veteran will be free to leave on a free transfer.
